Building tomorrow together: 2025-2030

Over the next five years, Central District Alliance is looking to adopt a more tailored approach to how we organise activities in the five neighbourhoods we serve.

In order to attract visitors, improve the public realm and put CDA’s part of central London on the map, we tailor our approach to the areas of St Giles, Holborn, Bloomsbury, Clerkenwell and Farringdon. Businesses, their employees, local authorities and residents recognise and prioritise these areas as they uphold a longstanding tradition of localism that, in some cases, spans centuries.

Our mission

CDA is committed to supporting our business community, by enhancing sustainable socio-economic growth across our central London neighbourhoods.

Project Areas

Environmental Services

CDA ensures clean, welcoming neighbourhoods by providing additional street cleaning, litter collection, and graffiti removal. Through partnerships with local authorities, we enhance the area’s environment, including introducing electric-assisted vehicles for eco-friendly service.

Community Safety

Our dedicated safety patrols provide visible reassurance, addressing crime and antisocial behaviour across the district. In collaboration with the Metropolitan Police and local councils, we foster a safer environment, focusing on high-traffic commuter areas and night-time economies.
